After writing songs and building a diehard fanbase over nearly a decade, Aisley Autumn took a leap of faith to release her first album to the world in 2026. As a fully independent pop singer-songwriter based in Lexington, KY, she booked her own local shows to celebrate these new songs with fans and recruited TicketLeap for her ticket sales. We wanted to shine a light on her incredible work and share how TicketLeap empowered her to make money and gather fan data at these self-booked events.

Inspirational pop singer brings fans together across the country for debut album

Performing live since 2018, Aisley Autumn (pronounced “Ashley Autumn”) achieved some exciting milestones in the past two years of her budding music career. In January 2025, she released her debut single “Make Believe”, followed by her debut EP Leaving Make Believe in June 2026. She celebrated each milestone with dedicated release shows, including performances for her first four singles in 2025 and a big show for her debut EP in June 2026. These were held at coffee shops around Central Kentucky with tickets sold through TicketLeap.

Drawing inspiration from artists like Sara Bareilles, Olivia Rodrigo, and Paramore, Aisley performs on acoustic guitar or piano, sometimes accompanied by a full band featuring drums, bass, keys, and electric guitar. She has spent countless hours building a dedicated group of fans, who proudly call themselves her “autumn leaves.” When she booked these shows, fans travelled across the country to attend – including some loyal fans from TikTok who drove upwards of 12-14 hours just to be there! For her first show celebrating her debut single “Make Believe”, the coffee shop was so filled to the brim with roughly 100 people that they ran out of seats! Fans were singing along to her original songs, dancing with friends, and gave her a standing ovation at the end.

Riding the momentum of that show, Aisley’s highly anticipated release show for the whole album that next June was also a full house. It featured a number of new songs as well as fan favorites like “So Stupid” and “Same Drive Home”. With artist potential this strong and a fanbase this dedicated, the next chapter looks bright for her music!

Our platform makes it easy to create branded event pages in minutes, manage registrations from anywhere, and provide her fans with a smooth checkout experience – all at a simple, transparent price.

TicketLeap has supported Aisley's release shows in other ways as well. She shared a number of things about TicketLeap that made running her own concerts easier. This included processing refunds with a single click, collecting newsletter signups through custom checkout questions, sending know-before-you-go emails, and accepting donations during checkout. “I appreciate how convenient it has been, especially when I'm away from my computer,” Aisley noted. “I can easily check the status of my ticket sales and manage my event from my phone.” Those time-saving tools allow her to spend less time managing logistics and more time creating unforgettable live music experiences for her growing audience!
